Arrived at the Winter Palace, the
castelar, was ordered to bring the key
OF the throne room; six grenadiers
were commanded to load their guns,
and led by the empress the little troop

dor. The empress stepped within the
room, followed by her guards, who
placed themselves around her. The
room was brilliantly illuminated, but
empty. On the throne was seated q
shape, the counterpart OF Elizabeth,
arrayed in purple and ermine, covered
with diamonds, and crowned with the
royal diadem. One instant Elizabeth

II WAS thrilling moment!
"Fire" cried the empress.
The guards raised theirguns and all
six aimed directly at the ghostly Wis.
liant. The triggers snapped. At the
same instant the figure clapped its
hands together, and the room was
suddenly plunged into intense dark
ness. Then followed great commo-
ton and confusion, while the empress
called:
Bring lightsl"
Lights were speedily produced, and
each corner was thoroughly searched,
but absolutely nothing could be found
to elucidate the mystery. Every door
was locked and guarded. The guards
had seen no one leave the palace. The
empress ordered q more thorough
search to be made, but in vain were
all efforts made to discover the perpe-
traitor OF the trick, ii trick it were.
The occErence made deeper i'm
preston upon Elizabeth than she
would admit. Eight weeks afterward
she died.

"GOne Over The Range"

Charles Coulter, who went over the
range, pierced by fourteen bullets fired
by the citizens of Colorado, was well
known throughout the West as one OF
the original cowboys, and a desperate
character when in the influence OF
liquor. He was q cowboy from in
fancy. He drove the first big herd OF
cattle up the Santa Fe trail in 1857,
when cowboys reTe known as COW
punchers, and did not include theologi-
cal students and diplomats. Coulter,
who was a fine specimen OF manhood,
was, like all great characters in Ameri'
can history, a Missourian. He was
six feet one inch in height and
weighed 200 pounds. He is the
fourth OF his family to die with his
rawhides on. although had he been an
ordinary man he would have cashed
in a good many years ago. His father
and two brothers died on their feet,
and the last male OF the race is singu-
larly q victim OF consumption and
likely to die at any moment. Coulter
began his career at fifteen in the sad
die chasing steers, and this was his oc-
cupation during life, except for about
two years when he cast his fortunes
with the James ounger crowd. He
did not like the business OF holding up
stage coaches and railway trains, how
ever, and returned to the cattle bust
ness. When sober, he was pleasant.
inoffensive fellow, but when drunk.
was desperate TO the extreme and
would commit the rashest OF deeds.
which would cost other men their
lives. He knew every foot OF the coun-
~ from the Missouri to the Montana
ranges, and had many remarkable ad.
ventures.
On one occasion he became involved
in a row in n Dodge City saloon and
fought thirteen men and got away
without injury. During this fight two
men were either killed or seriously
wounded. In the row Coulter intro
duced what is known as the back-ac-
ton move-knocking one man down
and shooting another at the same
time. This is done by striking man
in front with the stock OF a gun and
shooting one in the rear. After this
row the friends ofsome ofthe men who
we're injured started out to kill Coul-
ter, but failed to come up with him.,
For year or two he was very quiet
and then sprang up at Wallace by
rounding up" the town and holding
il for two days with four companions.
During this raid Coulter walked in
to a small eating saloon, frequented
by railway men, as young consump-
tive was eating graveyard stew"
as milk and toast IL called in that
section. The young man was reclin-
ing against the wall and had raised a
spoon to his mouth when Coulter
shot it out of his hand. The young
fellow turned to flee when Coulter call
ed out to him to stop, and placing
him near the wall, made complete
profile of his body with bullets, graz
ing the skin half dozen times.
On one occasion Coulter is said to
have ridden $40 miles without leav-
ing the saddle. He was a first-class
cattle man, and was rs brave as any
who ever threw larint. Even after
his body had been pierced with four
teen bullets IN the fatal fight
he managed to empty two guns
and wound Two men.-Denver News

Mr.. G. A. Chapman, who owns and oc

six and seven o'clock on Sunday morn
ing to find his barn on fire. The roof
was then all in flames. He succeeded in
getting out several vehicles and other
things from the lower part and also three
of the four horses stabbed there. The
other horse was dead. 1t is supposed
the smoke came down into it's stall, which
was close to ventilating flue, and stifled
it. An alarm was given in the village
and the firemen turned out and took the
hand engine up. But there was no water
available, so they could do nothing, and
the structure burned to the ground. 1t
was insured for 500 in the Continental,
through Mr.. Brooks agency. Mr.. Chap
man places his total loss at $4,000 to

known. The owner was in the barn Sat
urday evening, when there was nothing
wrong. The hay was put in early in
July and had given no signs of heating

RESENT N lent.

A gentleman had lost most of his chickens
by a sparrow hawk that came gliding down
among the coops. One day the tormentor
was caught, his wings clipped, talons cut of,
and cork was fixed over his bill, and the
helpless hawk was thrown down among the
brood hens. Imagination cannot paint the
scene that ensued. The expressions that fear,
rage and revenge inspired were new, or at
least such as had been unnoticed before. The
exasperated matrons upbraided, they exc.
Grated, they insulted, they triumphed; in a

WEATHER INDICATIONS.

Secretary Stratton of the Y. NJ. c. A.
has procured a set of flags for showing
the signal service weather indications.
They will be shown on horizontal line
stretched between two tall poles to be
erected at once--one on the association
building and the other on Mrs. SHADES
block. The system will be in operation
in few days.
Four flags are used to show what the
indications are. No. l is square and
white; No. 2, square and blue; No. 3, tri-
angular and black, and No. 4 is square
and white with black square in the CEN
ter. No. indicates clear or fair wealth
er; No. 2, rain or snow No. 3 shows the
When No. is placed above Nos. l or it
indicates warmer weather; when below
either of them, colder weather; when not
displayed the indications are that the
4 is used only TO indicate the approach of
a sudden and decided fall in temperature.
Here the flags, as stated, will be dis
played on a horizontal line. "A streamer
will be attached with them, and the end
of the line on which it is is to be consid-
cred the beginning or top. For instance,
flag No. 3 next the streamer should be
read as above No. l, should that follow
next on the line, and the two flags so dis
played would indicate fair weather,
warmer" and so on.

4 Queer Arrest.

On Thursday evening last, shortly after 10
O'Clock, as Mr.. S. D. Fuller, Secretary of the
Y. II. c. A.. was proceeding along Hotel
street and Palace Walk toward Likelike
street and home, after entering the latter
street, he heard 9 peculiar noise from over
the wall, and stepping onto q projection in
the wall looked over TO ascertain the cause,
but seeing nothing jumped down and re-
sumed his journey, reaching King street,
where he was asked in native, what he was
doing on the palace wall. Being Cnabbs TO
understand him, and the policeman seemed
desIrous of arresting the gentleman. they
both started for the Station House, where
fortunately he found the Marshal and his
deputy. Mr.. Fuller on fully explaining the
circumstances to the Marshal, vas allowed to
depart. This should be warning to others
10 not be too inquisitive in passing these
walls. Should one Of those lynx-eyed senti-
nSls catch . glimpse of head on the wall it
is not unlikely that bullet might whistle in
close proximity to his ear.
